This package helps configuring a repo for hardhat development the Boring way. This is very opinionated :)

We will do this using the yarn package manager, starting with:

yarn init yarn add --dev boringcrypto/hardhat-framework yarn boring init

You can include your environment variables in a .env file in the root of your repo. Alternatively you can set an actual environment variable called DOTENV_PATH to point to a central .env file to be used. This way you can use the same environment settings accross multiple projects.

Some useful settings:

ALCHEMY_API_KEY=
COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY=
HARDHAT_NETWORK=hardhat
HARDHAT_MAX_MEMORY=4096
HARDHAT_SHOW_STACK_TRACES=true
HARDHAT_VERBOSE=true
